Past Sires

Purchased in 2010 and used for 5 years. Benchmark was an eye appealing, correct, low birth weight bull with a great topline and very smooth shoulders. Benchmark boast an amazing set of EBVs, with birth weight, rib, rump and IMF fats all in the top 5% of the breed. Progeny have proven to be very easy doing cattle, that consistently produce offspring of the highest standard, making his genetics invaluable in our stud.

An outcross sire, out of an exceptional old cow. Hercules bred a real ‘type’, with length and spring of rib. Progeny have very low birth weights, yet remain competitive with weights at 200, 400 and 600 days.
